A little mix of everything as you battle your way through the defenses.

Low ratings are a little harsh IMO. Two of the central emitters are very tough but leave them until last and then line up every amp'd unit on one side and you can get the Lathe ships in to kill them. Every PF map is to be encouraged! Not many people making them now and I still love this game.

"Use everything and do a frontal assault" is not tactics, it is brute force.
Which is boring.

I think the low rating is warranted.
Not because the map is sloppy, but because it is forcing players into a single, boring approach.

Also, it's insane fire rates, spawn rates, and too many explosions so you can't even see what's happening. You can't adapt, you can just try slightly different ship formations until one works, and you won't even know which works and which does not.

Smaller ships and lower fire/spawn rates and this would be a well-made map.

I actually think this is one of BEric2000s better maps - I enjoyed quite a bit :)

Spoiler

there is a backdoor..
